Pythagorean Theorem: Some False Proofs Even smart people make mistakes. Some mistakes are getting published and thus live for posterity to learn from. I ’ll list below some fallacious proofs of the Pythagorean theorem that I came across. Some times the errors are subtle and involve circular reasoning or fact misinterpretation. On occasion‚ a glaring error is committed in logic and leaves one wondering how it could have avoided being noticed by the authors and editors. Proof 1 One such error appears

Gauss Markov Theorem In the mode [pic]is such that the following two conditions on the random vector [pic]are met: 1. [pic] 2. [pic] the best (minimum variance) linear (linear functions of the [pic]) unbiased estimator of [pic]is given by least squares estimator; that is‚ [pic]is the best linear unbiased estimator (BLUE) of [pic]. Proof: Let [pic]be any [pic]constant matrix and let [pic]; [pic] is a general linear function of [pic]‚ which we shall take as an estimator of [pic]. We must specify

Welcome to Tv6’s special today‚ I am ‚ and I will be your host‚ we will be reviewing 3 special segments that all involve Newton’s 3 laws. Let’s go take a look at the first one. As you just saw in this Polo segment‚ Newton’s first law is one of the reason this game exists‚ if you hit the ball with the polo sick the reason for the ball to continue in motion is because of Newton’s First Law‚ “An object in motion will remain in motion unless an external force acts upon it.” But the reasons behind the

Chebyshev’s Theorem and The Empirical Rule Suppose we ask 1000 people what their age is. If this is a representative sample then there will be very few people of 1-2 years old just as there will not be many 95 year olds. Most will have an age somewhere in their 30’s or 40’s. A list of the number of people of a certain age may look like this: |Age |Number of people | |0 |1 | |1 |2 | |2 |3

Algebra II‚ 7th period 11th March 2013 The Life and Works of Sir Isaac Newton Sir Isaac Newton‚ (1642-1727)‚ mathematician and physicist‚ was one of the greatest scientific minds of all time. Sir Isaac Newton was born at on January 4th (December 25th old calendar) at Woolsthorpe‚ a farmstead‚ in Lincolnshire. Woolsthorpe is the place where he worked on his theory of light and optics. This is also believed to be the site where Newton observed an apple fall from a tree‚ inspiring him to make his law

Newton’s I‚ II‚ & III Law Newton’s three laws of motion explain everything that happens to objects in Earth. Anything from kicking a ball to a human being walking is explained by Newton’s three laws of motion. They explain something different of the motion of an object‚ put together they explain everything. In order they are; Newton’s First Law: The law of inertia; Newton’s Second Law: The law with the concept of acceleration; Newton’s Third Law: The Law of Action & Reaction. Newton’s

Greek mathematician and philosopher. Pythagoras was responsible for important developments in the history of mathematics‚ astronomy‚ and the theory of music. The thing that Pythagoras is probably the most famous for is the Pythagorean Theorem. The Pythagorean Theorem is used in the field of mathematics and it states the following: the square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the two other sides. This means that if one makes a square (with all sides equal in

In the late 1960’s and early ’70’s posters of the Black Panther Party’s co-founder‚ Huey P. Newton were taped and plastered on walls of college dorm rooms nation-wide. Wearing a black beret and a leather jacket‚ sitting on a wicker chair‚ a spear in one hand and a rifle in the other‚ the poster portrayed Huey Newton as a symbol of his generation’s anger and courage. He was a symbol of anger and courage in the face of racism and the class in which blacks were placed. His intellect and leadership abilities

Newton’s three laws‚ when put into simple terms‚ aren’t confusing concepts. Just remember that an object is balanced until acted on by a larger force and then is still balanced when it goes at a constant speed until acted on again by a larger force that stops it. The second law is Force= mass X acceleration. And the third is all forces act in pairs‚ pretty simple right? Just remember this and the examples and the rest should make more sense. The three laws of motion explain how an
